I hear they brought people’s lives to a stand still
Every sentence hang up on it
Even the remotely affected seemed to care
It’s like they were all voting
What was your reason?

They were not world elections
But they flooded all media
I still did not get it
Why did it matter?
What was your reason?

Some just followed the wave
Some are fans
Few were genuinely concerned
The elite needed to show and exercise their muscles
What was your reason?

They do not know you in person
They do not know that you keenly followed
You however spent a lot of time on it
You argued about it and justified your views
What was your reason?

Mine came the last day
For once I took a moment
On that Sunday afternoon
I looked, I listened, I researched
I got my reason; My inspiration.

The humility, The journey, The authenticity
The eloquence, The stature, The fitness
The physical energy, the ease with life
That’s my reason; My inspiration

Then she summarized it;
“Dream with ambition,
Lead with conviction
See yourself in a way that others do not see .. because they have never seen it before.”
That’s my reason, My inspiration

You also do not know them
Maybe they can’t even reach you
But you are someone’s inspiration
Your children, friends, family, strangers
Someone looks at you and listens to you
What’s their reason?

Each time ‘you do you’…Remember;
Someone is watching
Someone is taking notes
The way you choose to approach life
You are liberating someone else
You are giving someone a reason to find their unique breath.

What was your reason? What is their reason?
